EBII 335i M-Sport 6MT w/ M-Perf. Grills(Lots of pics)

G80_Soom · 08-27-2012, 12:20 PM

It's now been exactly a week with this beauty and thought I'd share with my BP brethren. Ordered on 6/18/12 and delivered on 8/20/12. This is truly one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen and I still can't believe it's mine at times. I absolutely love the look as well as the drive. I know people here hate on the steering but I love it. It's incredibly accurate and responsive while still giving you the feel of the wheels and road(albeit a little less than previous gens). That exhaust burble is also

I still miss my E46 but the F30 is making it an easy transition.

Oh, and Estoril Blue II > Tanzanite Blue any day of the week

Enjoy the pics! Taken with Galaxy Nexus.

Pickup day.

M-Performance Grills installed

My co-worker's EVO X

looks sweet man!

Jamesons Viggen · 08-27-2012, 12:39 PM

Good for another day!

I am still on the fence about the performance grills. I like the stock contrast, but replacing them would mean pretty much NO chrome on the car except for the exhaust tips which might be nice.

E36toF30 · 08-27-2012, 01:05 PM

Great pictures! I know I'm biased (I got the same car basically), but I agree with you that's it's beautiful, one of the best looking sedans out there I think. I love how mine drives too. Unfortunately it will be about another 7-8 weeks until mine gets to the U.S.

Do it! I think it looks much better and it goes with the M-sport color scheme(black on side mirrors, shadowline window trim, and diffuser). Next up for me is 30% tint, M-perf splitter, and spoiler. That would totally set the car off! I dislike chrome except on the badge and roundel. I will never mess with those.

justinnum1 · 08-27-2012, 01:45 PM

Looks awesome! looks just like what mine will look like.

how is the manual? i am seeing a lot of manual EB's

How you liking that exhaust note of the 335?

EvenKeel · 08-27-2012, 01:49 PM

No Nav?

BMWinGE · 08-27-2012, 01:55 PM

looks nice, exactly how i would want it.

Thanks! The manual is great. This is my first manual car and I'm loving it! The clutch pedal feel is just right and the shifter is smooth. You hear the diverter valve release air on 3500K+ upshifts which sounds awesome. My friend who is a more experienced manual driver said it's one of the easier ones he's driven.

I haven't heard the exhaust from outside the car with someone else pulling but the exhaust burble on idle and deceleration is fantastic. It only does that in Sport/Sport+ so be sure to switch it on at all times

I'm still babying it until 1200 miles so won't hear the full engine and exhaust tones till then.

Great Pics! Thanks for sharing!

I feel the same way. That's the main reason I didn't change my front grill.
But anyway, beautiful car!! Congrats!!

rideontwo · 08-27-2012, 08:41 PM

Very nice. The Perf. Grills are awesome. I really like how they change the look of the car. BTW, no heated seats?? Also did you get leather?

Nah, no heated seats. I never even used them on my E46. It is however Dakota leather.

THANK YOU, somebody that understands me. It just was not worth the $2000+ for me either, i just ordered enhanced bluetooth so i can run from my car. 4g LTE DROID all the way! love the car, thanks for providing some eye candy while i wait for mine!!!

DrivenByE30 · 08-28-2012, 11:24 AM

Congrats!!!! especially a 6MT 335i....

here's to all the pro-auto... the manual will not go as easily as you think...

Save the Manual, Long Live the Manual !

Trust me, the manual will not be going anytime soon especially in my friend circle. 3 E36s, 1 E46, 2 E90s, and now mine ALL manual. I was the last one to see the light

It sucks that half of them are in Michigan or I would have done a complete lineup pic.

cardnation · 08-28-2012, 01:46 PM

Did that shift knob come standard? It looks like the ZHP Knob!

I'm the same I've a 320d Msport AW with Coral Red on order, I feel the cost of the nav was not justified as technology is moving a such a fast pace, what is available on the car now compared with what may be available in 3 to 4 years for hand held devices will never compare and will not make your car anymore desirable when you want to change.
